The
DGFK (German Society for Promotion of Culture) was officially registered
in 1973 at the district court Berlin-Charlottenburg.

The
main activities of the society in the beginning revolved around promotion
of culture in its widest sense. About 133 projects were initiated or supported
which included projects of art exhibitions, lectures as well as concerts,
film projects and festivals.

A
number of publications were published and events initiated and organized
in Berlin, Germany and other european and non-european countries. Since
1990 however, most of the activities of the society are concentrated in
the non-european regions.
